| Re: Green striped Mushrooms HELP! It all depends on what kind of lighting you have and where the mushrooms are placed in the tank. It is perfectly fine for the mushrooms to be touching eachother. If they are turning brinw, my best guess is that you have inadequite lighting.

| Re: Green striped Mushrooms HELP! Green stripe mushrooms always look brown without the 420-460nm wavelength spectrum. I would invest in some actinic bulbs, it will make all your corals "POP" with color!

| Re: Green striped Mushrooms HELP! actinics would only make your corals look better, not actually be better. I would invest in some 10,000-12,000k bulbs. It seems you have a 40g tank so a fixture with around 3-5 watts per gallon should do.

| Re: Green striped Mushrooms HELP! Could have just been acclimation and adjustment time. How did you acclimate them?

| Re: Green striped Mushrooms HELP! Oh, I would have drip acclimated them, so that could be why they turned a little brown for a few days.
